Rise of Rurik - Chapter 719

[Chapter 720 Ross immigration prologue]

It seems that anything that happens in southern Denmark has nothing to do with the Principality of Ross.

No matter what the blue fox experiences, it will not interfere with the principality’s large immigration project.

Rurik’s time was very tight, but fortunately the weather and wind direction were favorable, and his large empty fleet was able to return quickly and safely to his faithful hometown of Roseburg.

Many strong and strong people have immigrated to the east permanently with their wives and children, and a large number of people who stayed behind in their homeland are also eager to try. They have even packed up their belongings and are waiting to board the boat and leave.

When the first group of immigrants left as the ice thawed, the restlessness of the rest made the whole Roseburg a boiling pot.

The Maharaja’s order is absolute, and the residents of Rosehead will have the right to leave by boat with all their wives and children on a voluntary basis.

The people in Rose’s headquarters cheered for it, but the people who joined the group in the later stage were more jealous than coveting the opportunity.

Perhaps the situation will get better and better until the immigration of the old Russians is completed, and then the departure of the new Russians.

Of course, there are still some people who are engaged in very special industries, and they are determined not to leave.

Fishing people were the first to see Rurik’s large fleet continuing northward with the warm southerly wind, and the fishing boats acted as guides to guide the fleet into the port.

The Aurora, which has experienced many battles, looks like an old soldier covered in scars. The small damage visible to the naked eye shows that she has gone through vicissitudes of life, and now she has returned to her birthplace.

The wooden board was on the trestle bridge, and Rurik was in good spirits, waving to the gathered people: “Praise your princes! I’m back!”

The onlookers were all smiling, and they waved to welcome their heroes.

Those important people who were still in Roseburg’s hometown stood in the most conspicuous place, especially the white-bearded Harrow Zuosen wearing a huge velvet hat was the most emotional.

Appointed as the governor of Roseburg, he hurriedly approached his prince and stood on the trestle bridge. He wanted to say something, but was stunned for a moment because of his excitement.

“Do you have a thousand words?” Rurik asked with a smile.

Just looking at the old friend Harrow Zuosen’s aging is a bit worrying.

“Yes… yes! A lot of things!”

“It doesn’t matter! When I come back, I just arrange three things! Immigration! Immigration! Still immigration! I will call all the heroes for a meeting, and we should have a good chat in Ross Duma.”

Haruo Zuosen, who was obviously old and frail, ordered to make way for him.

If there is indeed one person in his hometown who worries Rurik the most, it is the high priest Rumia.

No, Rumia, wearing an antler helmet, was also standing at the scene with the entourage of her personal priest, Rumi.

Tears welled up in her eyes, looking at her excited and sad face, Rurik boasted that the past winter had indeed treated her badly.

“It’s time to comfort you. Well, Lumi is starting to look feminine…”

After all, time has changed. Rurik also saw the group of young fighters he trained and watched the news. They still wore robes of the same style and color, but every boy was almost reborn on the surface.

They have all grown up a lot, and their overall bodies are thin and weak, but their height has generally caught up to adults.

If it takes time, it will be hundreds of the most elite soldiers.

Everyone loves the romance between the prince and the high priest.

At that time, the young chief’s son protected his first female slave with a sword and became a major topic of discussion among the people.

After so many years, the son of the leader has become the prince of the principality, and the female slave is also the high priest of the principality. All this is fate.

They hugged each other on the pier, and the people screamed for them.

The somewhat boring hometown of Roseburg has regained its vitality. Prince Rurik has returned, and he will bring new hope for the future to everyone.

Although the old Ross people don’t know the specific immigration day, the huge fleet is moored at the pier, and there is no war mission for expeditions to others this year, the only mission is to emigrate.

They cheered all night today, and they are mentally prepared to immigrate in three days. Many old Ross families have already made up their minds. They will sell their useless soft goods in the open-air market at dawn tomorrow, and exchange them for silver coins so that they can be used in the Eastern New World. .

Rurik returned to his mansion happily, and the two sisters, Rumia and Rumia, had changed into casual clothes and followed them.

Although some tribal women were ordered by Governor Harrow Zuo Sen to be maids, they were all rejected by Rurik one by one.

Except for the elite mercenaries living in the old outdoor barracks, there were only him and his two wives and concubines in the huge three-story palace.

The oil lamps were lit by Rumia one after another, and it was already half a year later. When I saw my man again, he was even more mighty and majestic. Even though he was older, he became a dwarf.

She gently put down the lit oil lamp, and she obviously had something to do, and she slowly walked into her man, her prince.

In front of Rurik, Lumi, the first daughter of the Salmon Lord tribe who does not shy away from the existence of her little priest, maid and sister, lowered her Nordic elegant robe with a trace of apprehension…

“Rurik, brother, love me…”

“You! Okay! Okay… I owe you!”

Poor Lumi was like a light bulb. She watched as Prince Rurik carried High Priest Lumia into the bedroom in the posture of a princess.

Because she is also a prince’s woman, she is full of curiosity, longing and even a trace of jealousy. How can Lumi, who has barely reached the traditional critical age, not want to be a woman at that moment?

Because, not only because Lumi is a woman, but also because her almost destroyed tribe needs someone to save.

“Since Carlotta saved her Ostara with her competitive belly, I should follow suit.”

Obviously this night belonged to the prince and the high priest, and Rurik would not do anything that would make Rumia sad at the critical moment.

Rumia was finally satisfied, lying on the leather blanket and panting violently: “Rurik, the next one will be… will it be my son? We didn’t succeed last time, and this time we will definitely do it.”

“Maybe. Whether you can succeed, whether you are a son, everything depends on Odin’s will.” Rurik did it quietly, and it would be the most emotional if he could light a cigarette at this time.

“It must be a son. I feel that Odin gave me a revelation, I… will give you a good war chief (general).”

“That would be great. In that case, my son must have a proper name. Kharlki, for example.”

“What a straightforward name.”

Fathers can have all sorts of creative ideas for naming their children, or they can be wildly uninspired.

Rurik chose the latter this time. The original meaning of the so-called Helky is a simple and rude “pure man”.

Speaking of which, he remembered that his cousin’s name was also spelled similarly, which probably meant “pure man”.

He even included his own name “Rurik”, which means “a reborn pure man”. If his father hadn’t lost his two sons, he wouldn’t have given himself such a name.

Rumia is satisfied, but she still misses her daughter: “Velika, she…”

“She is fine and is taken care of by her grandparents. She has learned to run in the past winter, and her articulation has become much clearer.”

“That’s great, I really want to see her.”

“You’ll see you soon.”

“Yes! But after we leave, the temple in the city will also be moved. Is this really appropriate?”

“Are you worried?” Rurik shrugged. “There’s nothing wrong with it. I’ve decided that I’m going to build a bigger one in New Roseburg, preferably out of stone. I’m going to build even better gods.” Statues, and a group of young priests must be recruited, everything must be formalized, and everyone must feel solemn when they see the temple and square.”

“Just hearing what you said made my heart flutter.” Rumia got up now, and snuggled up to Rurik again: “But it will cost a lot of money to do so.”

“Oh? You’re actually worried about finances?”

Rumia nodded, and said: “The people prayed and donated. In the six months since you were away, I have saved a huge sum of money in my cash box. The money is all yours. It is good to use it to build a new temple.”

“There’s still a huge amount of money?!” Rurik was moved, he didn’t expect that the gift box for the “Incense Donation” that he made on a whim really became a treasure for money?

“how many?”

“Nearly two hundred pounds of silver.”

“Ah?! So many? This…how is it possible. My people are so rich?”

Rumia burst out laughing, and she told the whole story in front of her man without any concealment.

The so-called how to get so much money for nothing?

It’s all those statues.

In the Nordic world, no tribe would spend huge sums of money to make large gold-plated statues of gods. The Ross people not only cast them, but also built six of them in one go.

Except for the Valkyrie Spellosville believed by the Ross people, the other five gods are all recognized great gods. The gods are in charge of different affairs, and the affairs in charge of the five gods basically cover all aspects of everyone’s life.

Foreign businessmen and local craftsmen were willing to offer some money, and Rumia also invented a saying that “clink the coins, and the gods will answer your prayers”.

Ordinary people take out at most one silver coin to offer on Hanukkah on the winter solstice, and then pray to the gods to bless all things in the next year.

Businessmen and craftsmen have the highest requirements, because they also face many great sacrifices in their lives.

There are businessmen here who do not hesitate to give a huge sum of half a pound or even a pound, which is worth an even more outrageous amount. They all pray for the blessing of Frey, who is in charge of business.

However, most of these people are doing clothing processing related to leather and linen. They produce just-needed goods and sell them overseas. They have been Roseburg’s fist income-generating products since ancient times, and Ross hunters have provided more and more kinds of leather in recent years. It is rare for practitioners in related industries not to make money.

Businessmen and craftsmen generally don’t think it’s because they are business wonders, or because of the bonus brought by Roseburg’s platform.

Their belief is very simple, that is, they are willing to believe that their prayers to God have an effect.

Therefore, the small temple in Roseburg’s hometown has been “burning incense”.

Rumia described it in this way, the more Rurik heard it, the more he wanted to laugh, but his heart was so excited.

Unexpectedly, Rumia has some business acumen?

Not only!

This woman has served as the high priest, at least she has a good means of “making money”.

Fortunately, this is his own woman, it would be a bit dangerous to be another high priest.

The most expensive thing after immigration is to build new settlements and then solve the problem of sustainable development.

Farming cannot be done this year, that is, in 835. The new immigrants should receive a batch of mature fields in the spring of next year and actively open up wasteland.

In the past hundred years, the residents of Rosetown have formed a whole by relying on marriage and blood, and now the people of Rosetown are scattered.

The concept of Ross has become very large, and the community relations that used to rely on blood ties will slowly dilute in the new world where the majority of Slavs are in the East. Then a new thing must be established as the common idea of everyone, such as architecture. A great temple to which a new god of fire called “Peron” was added, and from then on Rus had seven gods.

The construction of a great temple will consume a lot of wealth. The reason why a spectacle can harm a country is a truth. Rurik really wants to start another large-scale urban construction in New Rose Fort, and the cost is definitely not small.

Rumia earned wealth by accumulating donations, which is still too little compared to the huge demand for urban construction.

Perhaps attacking a strong enemy, defeating them with Ross’s powerful army and grabbing huge wealth, New Rose Fort will become the pearl of the North in a short time.

“Doing business with the Danes safely, I can use the dumping advantage to squeeze out their wealth. If war is still inevitable, Blue Fox, it would be best if you could give me an excuse for war.”

So how did Rurik until three months later?

It’s just the tail end of May.

Rurik does need a lot of capital to build his own Ross. When his blood-forming ability is not good enough, plundering other wealth is the best solution.

Of course, war is a bad policy, and if it is a means of trade to grab benefits, it is the best policy.

Therefore, he has the willingness to cultivate with Denmark, but it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t. As long as Hedeby remains a free trade port, the Ross people will continue to eat the flesh and blood of Denmark to fatten themselves.

That night, Lumia stayed up all night, and she vented all the emotions she had squeezed for half a year. This caused Rurik to stare until dawn, and as a maid to report to the prince under the order of Harrow Zuo Sen, However, the prince and the high priest were still entangled and sleeping soundly.

Little Lumi woke up, stood up helplessly and went out.

She was wearing a plain robe, her black hair was tied into a huge ponytail, and she stood upright and described to Harrow Zuosen who was waiting outside: “My lord, the prince and the high priest are still lingering. They are very tired and don’t want anyone to disturb you. You and everyone Anything may have to wait until tomorrow.”

In fact, she is a bit maverick and arrogant, relying on being Rurik’s woman, she dared to yell at the old guy Harold Zuosen.

She also had self-knowledge, knew that she had to do her job well, and she couldn’t do anything presumptuous, so she returned to the small temple that needed someone to watch after she finished speaking.

The small temple will soon be demolished, and when she came back, she looked at the statue with a trace of regret, and then looked at whether it was the people who brought silver coins to offer, and she had to receive them with a business-like smile. Jingle bells, and auspicious words must be delivered.

Today’s Harrow Zuo Sen was in vain. He and his old friends thought that the prince would implement extremely high work efficiency and would hold an elite meeting the second time he returned home.

Apparently Rurik is indeed a real man, he can overcome the fatigue of traveling and traveling, and he will fade away in the tenderness of the woman he loves.

Everyone can understand this situation, and everyone laughed when they heard Little Lumi’s description.

A group of talents gathered here this morning, and they are also a group of old guys.

There are the Governor Harold Zosen, the shipwright Hotra and his close friends, the old blacksmith Clavassen and his other four old friends, the manager of the New Ross people who immigrated from Mellaren, Heligel, and the deer breeder. The representative, the representative of Allenburg in Iron Stove Town, the satellite city of Roseburg, the owner of the garment workshop, Fodgen, and even the most important businessman, Gould.

Rurik has grown into a hero of a generation, and now anyone who says he has a childish face is dazzled.

Rurik has grown up, and the age spots on the faces of the old guys have become more and more serious. The old warriors are now unable to pick up weapons. Not good either, he occasionally gets a headache and occasionally feels weak.

People are mortal, and everyone is doing things for “Odin’s son” Rurik. Presumably, the souls after death will return to the wonderful Asgard.

The anxious gathering of everyone also reflected the will of the entire Roseburg people. Everyone hoped that Rurik would hold a meeting immediately.

Harrow Zuo Sen made a final arrangement: “The prince and the high priest are together, just like Odin and Freya. Let them have a good rest. Let’s go back and prepare separately, and prepare for the things we have to talk to and discuss with the prince. Then We can discuss and resolve them one by one.”

Indeed, the old man Harrow Zuosen has some skills in handling government affairs.

He was the loser of the leader competition in the old days. Now that the country of Ross is prosperous and thriving, he asserted that he would definitely not be able to do it otherwise, but sticking to the hometown of Roseburg has long been familiar with things like this.

It is under his governance that all economic activities in his hometown are in an orderly manner, as extremely stable as it has been in the past half century.

Harrow Zuosen is indeed a conservative local official, but he is also old, even older than Otto.
